OCD SUCKS!

The title pretty much sums up how I feel right now. I was just looking back at my blog and noticed that on Nov. 13th we were making progress and now we are back to a bad place!!! The week after Thanksgiving, Drake got sick with a stomach virus and he hasn't been able to get back to his normal since! I have been doing some research and looking into the possibility that Drake has PANDAS OCD, which is cause by a type of strep. We are moving in the right direction, I have contacted a doctor in Chicago and we are in the process of setting up some test so that we can confirm or deny. But, in the meantime I can't stand to see my son having so much trouble. He is fighting so hard and it is heartbreaking because I want to fight for him. I want to take this away from him. I can't bear to see him in so much pain and be so helpless!!! So, OCD sucks bigtime and I hate every part of it and I want it to leave my son alone for good!!!
